Idk what to do anymore
My family is scared of my brother but no one has the heart to call 911 on him he got out of the psych ward yesterday but he is using meth and is going crazy. He thinks we are going to steal his stuff and he scared my brother and step dad. I tried getting him help but I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip and I'm having second thoughts on going but I also really need to go on this vacation because I'm so stressed I'm the youngest of all my 5 siblings but I have to make a lot of the hard choices. I just don't want to hurt my mom by calling the cops on him and I don't want to upset anyone else. But I'm scared for everyone's safety idk what to do
This situation hit me so hard because I recently went through this with my family and I am the youngest as well. I am so sorry your brother is using and putting you and your family through this. You cannot help someone who does not truly want help. I am familiar with handling situations like these. It hurts being torn whether to help yourself or your family. Ultimately, you won't be helpful to resolve this issue if you are stressed beyond all measure and risk being short-wired because of it. If your family is familiar and used to your brothers presence, you should try to go on vacation and reset before finding the best way to handle your brother. You need to be mentally and emotionally prepared to move forward with him. Take the vacation to think things through outside of your natural environment. Things will get better.
